    Just wondering how to check temperature on my desktop. On a laptop I use
    "acpi -V" to see the temperaute.

    I was checking my desktop's(running Debian Sarge and kernel 2.6.9)
    motherboard's specs and notice it could be supporting temperature
    sensors. However, the boot log in /var/log/sys shows:

    ACPI: Processor [CPU] (supports C1)
    ACPI: Power Button (FF) [PWRF]

    and those are the only two lines containing ACPI. What does mean?

    I have these modules loaded:
    thermal
    fan
    button
    processor
    ac
    battery

    In /proc/acpi the following directories are emtpy(didn't check the others):
    thermal_zone
    fan
    ac_adapter
    and others

    This is what I get when I try to get information:
    $> acpi -V
    No support for device type: thermal

    So, how do I go about checking my CPU's(see below) temperature? And how
    do I confirm that my desktop really supports temperature reading?

    thanks,
    ->HS
